FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Colorado State freshman Oscar Teiffel has been named Mountain West men's golf Co-Freshman of the Year and All-Mountain West, the league announced today. The honors were voted on by the 11 head coaches of the Mountain West.
Teiffel is the second Ram ever to earn the Freshman of the Year award, joining Zahkai Brown in 2008-09. This also marks the third consecutive season that head coach Christian Newton has had at least one CSU golfer earn All-Mountain West recognition.
A native of Gothenburg, Sweden, Teiffel leads the Rams in scoring average at 71.94 strokes per round (+0.47 versus par) in 32 rounds and 11 tournaments, with 15 rounds of par or better with six rounds in the 60s. He has one individual win, four top 10s and six top-20 finishes, as he was medalist at the Paintbrush Intercollegiate with a 10-under 206 in cold and windy conditions in his first collegiate tournament in the lineup. He shot three under-par rounds in the Paintbrush, going 2-under 70 in the first round before 3-under 69 and 5-under 67 in the second and third rounds, respectively.. Most recently , he placed 10th at the PING Cougar Classic, shooting a 4-under 212 with all three rounds under-par and followed that up with a tie for 12th at the Mountain West Championship at 7-under 209, helping CSU to a runner-up finish. In his first league championship, he shot rounds of 70, 69 and 70.
The Rams earned an at-large berth and are headed to the 2019 NCAA Pullman Regional, hosted by Washington State, May 13-15. The three-day, 54-hole event is being played at Palouse Ridge Golf Club in Pullman, Wash., with CSU entering as the No. 7 seed. The top five team finishers and top individual not on those squads advance to the 2019 NCAA Championship in Fayetteville, Ark., May 24-29.
